【昭和の日本】高度経済成長期の衝撃的な満員電車の映像｜中央線で「尻押し係」に詰め込まれるサラリーマンたち

■ From the news transcript Tokyo mornings have been noticeably chillier lately, causing chaos on the Chuo Line as office workers arrive at work just in time. At peak times, stations are overflowing with people left behind, creating dangerous conditions that could lead to accidents at any moment. Ticket gate restrictions have even been implemented for the first time in the history of the Japanese National Railways. To combat the daily chaos, emergency measures have been taken, such as arranging for the first trains at each station, but even though passengers are finally able to get on by being pushed by pushers, the trains are bursting at the seams due to their bulky clothing. Even here, many people are staying behind. At the station, the least they can do is pick up lost items between trains. Today, people finally managed to get their belongings delivered to their cars, even though the 10-car train, which normally runs every two minutes, has now been rerouted every one minute. Delay certificates are being handed out in droves, with passengers telling passengers to take their belongings as they please. The weight of these troubled office workers is only getting heavier. ■ About this channel This channel streams footage of Japanese news programs produced in the 1950s-1970s.
